The common conception of our relation to
our ancestors goes no farther than u general
apprehension that we can inherit their vices
/ am glad that it begins to enter into social
motives as power, that as we are so will
our children be. But l desire to emphasize
the brighter side of the fact 1t is not only
true that drunkard's children are liable to
inherit taste for intoxicants, and a rake's
for unchastity; not only that oddities of
structure, such as web toes or Hapsburg
nose, are passed down in family line, out it
is even more strongly true that all sorts OF
good habits can be inherited, and the beauty
OF a noble thought can be transmitted into
the features of a child. For homely ex-
ample we say: Tom Slawson can't help
paying his debtsn-not so long as he can get
the money. His father and grandfather
were rigidly honest. Sharp enough to steall

A Yankee cannot sit still. He is bewitched
by ten generations of grandmothers that
never were idle while awake. He twitches

which will be of interest to local enthus-

says if on the third strike the ball hits

has been changed from four strikes and
five balls to three strikes and five balls
The rule allowing base hit on five balls
has been abolished, but FIVE balls will

THE RIVER SEASON.
Annual Report of Inspector Hayes
Appropriations for Government

Annual Report of Inspector Hayes
Appropriations for Government
Works.
Inspector George Hayes has com pleted
his report of the amount of river business
in this district for the past season. In
this district the water has been lower the
past season than during any summer since
1864 and this has made it hard season.
In spite of this there have been landed at
St. Paul alone. 1,0a4. 099 tons of freight.
This is an excess of over 5000 tons over
the freight business of the previous
season. There were landed in St. Paul
70,035 passengers including the transient
steam boat business. The season opened
April 81. and closed November IS. The
inspector says that the boats felt the eff
feet of the interstate commerce law, which
had the fleet of throwing considerable
business from the railroads to the river.
Along with this report Mr.. Hayes gave
out some interesting figures from the
annual report of the inspector general to
the secretary of the tr aslry for the year
ending July last, copy of which he
had inst received. From this it appears
that there were inspected in this district
237 steamers and 473 boilers. Licenses
were issued to S64 officers, and there
were l,44S 006 people carried by boats in
this district Three lives were lost by
accidents. The exports from this dis
trict to foreign lands and to points in the
United States outside the district amount
ed to 500, 900. 597 tons. which Mr. Hayes
said was somewhat in excess of the entire
foreign export tonnage of the United
States
Among the appropriations recon-
mended for rivers aud hsrbors in the es-
| Inmates submitted yesterday by the Sec
| tary of the treasury to congress are the
following; Mississippi river, from St.
Paul to Des Mnines rapids, 81 500, 900;

PICTURESQUE PEDoLeRS.
Curbstone Jewellers Who Hail from Tur-
key and Armenia.

Surely every one has seen the Armeniant
and Turks who stand on the curbs and offer
for sale gaudy jewelry and highly colored
pictures. The dark red fez is invariably
cooked upon their raven black hair, and their
faces, never any too clean, usually bear
look of pathetic resignation which draws
money from many an unwilling pocket.
Some wear American clothing, which has
evidently seen very much better days, while
others adhere with a logged persistency
worthy of better cause to the baggy trousers
and flowing jackets of their native land.
Any one of these itinerant tradesmen in
his queer costume which is of itself an ex
cellent advertisement land well the rogue
knows it,, surrounded by an admiring throng
of street urchins and prospective buyers, is Il
common sight upon our thoroughfares. The
writer himself never closely examined the
jewelry which these sons of the east offer for
sale, but the guileess smiles upon the ven-
dors' faces have always left an impression
that they were cherished keepsakes brought
over from their native land, and with which
only dire necessity caused them to part. But
alas for human guile!
A few days ago business called us into the
salesroom of large wholesale dealer in cheap
jewelry, and there, laughing and smoking
cigarettes with the jolheSt expressions
imaginable, was a group of the baggy trous-
cred street merchants b;lrtering for rings at
fifty cents per dozen and chains at six cents
each, which they afterward find no difficulty
in disposing of at an advance Of from 500 10
1000 per cent
'Whcnever | see party of them entering
the door, said the salesman who was waiting
upon them, Il always get fit of the horrors.
